    Last updated on Apr 4, 2009 by Dan McCarthy · This post may contain affiliate links

    Welcome to the April Leadership Development Carnival Spring Edition!

    There were almost 100 articles submitted to this month's carnival, and after a rigorous vetting process, I'm pleased to present to you my favorites.

    Go ahead and take some time to grow your leadership skills, you deserve it!

    Here they are, in no particular order:

    There are 3 questions that just have to be asked during your performance appraisal. If your manager is experienced in conducting reviews, then he or she will ask them for sure. If not, then you must ask them. For the answers are the most important things you will learn during your review. What are they?

And in these difficult times, helping others will be appreciated tremendously by all involved. Nina Simosko presents Pay it Forward posted at NinaSimosko.com.
